Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Raspberry Pi for CADCAM CNC? - first task .... realtime RasPi

Hi Kinsa,

OK, I will look-over the BOM. Thanks for the PIC part number. Also
looking for a schematic of sorts then since your not finished with it
yet, so I could start my DIP version.
As long as I dont barrage you with questions would you share your
assembly-info, source-code (if you feel comfortable), and any changes
you made to what your using as reference?? (like the LinuxCNC Wiki?)
I'd love to get in on the development phase of that thing.!! Wish I was
good with programming. I'm a C and C# novice. So I might only be a
decent Debugger-Guy... That PICNC would be a Fantastic addition to
the Raspberry world that is so quickly expanding!!
This last week I ordered my 3rd and 4th unit I'm going to use for two
other projects. My main reason for involvement in Raspberry Pi
originally HAS-BEEN to apply my learned C-Programming to real-world apps
that are Open-Sourced, and it helps me remember long-term much
better..... Plus the fact that some Arduino SOC boards seem to be very
HOT and hard to find...
I guess I better stop Rambling....
I'll look at the Pic info and see if I can get one together to
experiment with, and also further my programming.
Please send me a PM to vnegrete(at)comcast(dot)net if possible and you
have time.

Regards
Vince
